Welcome to “This Week in Nishinomiya,” where we look back at the openings and closings in Nishinomiya and the stories that got people talking this week (2/18–2/24) on “Nishi2 (Nishinomiya Tsushin)”!
In Nishinomiya City’s Yamaguchi-cho area, we found a bus stop that looks like it could appear in Totoro. It was a short article, but it got quite a lot of views, and more than 60 “Oh, really?” reactions! Maybe a lot of people felt the same way?
It looks like a restaurant called “Cucina Italiana Sakai” is opening in Koshienguchi. Apparently, you’ll be able to enjoy authentic Italian flavors there.

“Chakra Qigong” When the flow of human energy (qi) falls out of balance, the body and mind can become unwell. The biggest cause of energy imbalance is stress.
Let’s open the seven energy centers in the human body, known as “chakras”♪♪
“How do you open them?”
“With Ilchi Brain Yoga training!”
Beginners to qigong are welcome! Start by learning to sense energy.
Sensing energy = encountering your own life force
